Come visit our iconic Upstate home! The peaceful farm is a perfect get away for guests. The "Garden Suite" is fully accessible and includes a queen bedroom, private sitting area, mini refrigerator, free wifi, and private bathroom. The farm's easy access to Ithaca, Owego and Binghamton make this a convenient location.

The John Howland farm is an iconic 1840s-era family farm. We have a large, private bedroom available for guests. The “Garden Suite” includes a queen sized bedroom with a classic four poster bed, a sitting area for working and relaxing, a mini refrigerator, free wifi, and a private, handicap accessible bathroom. The farm features historic barns, rolling fields, an organic vegetable, and flower garden, a fishing stream, and over 200 acres of scenic Upstate New York farm land. The farm is perfect for guests looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway while allowing easy access to Ithaca, Owego, Elmira, and Binghamton.

The farm site is fifteen minutes from charming downtown Owego, and thirty minutes from Binghamton or Ithaca, NY. Many families enjoy the easy access to area colleges and universities while others prefer to visit historic Owego or the Finger Lakes many attractions.

The farm was simply divine and looked exactly like the photos. John gave an interesting tour about the farm's history and gave us directions back into the woods of his property to a small cabin his father built in the 70s as well. The rooms in the home were perfectly accommodating and provided plenty of privacy.

We had a very nice stay with the Howland family. We could use the well equipped kitchen and could walk around the farm as much as we wanted. John told us allot about the history of the farm. We would definitely recommend this farm to others!

Sophie2015-09-28T00:00:00Z

John made me feel like a valued guest and welcomed me home to the Finger Lakes area. The room was actually a suite including a sitting room and private bath. The facilities are wheelchair accessible, which is a helpful feature for so many travelers. The atmosphere is peaceful and beautiful. I slept wonderfully in the comfortable bed and found a tea tray waiting for me in the kitchen. I hope to return with a larger group as the many rooms will accommodate us comfortably for the family reunion next July. I encourage travelers who are looking for refreshment and renewal to book with at the Howland Family Farm. The drive to nearby Ithaca NY is through farm and forest, leading to the beautiful view of Cayuga Lake. The nearby Susquehanna River and Hickories Park offer a retreat, recreation or reunion venue. And then there is the acreage at the farm with the mysterious cabin in the woods! Enjoy!

Perfect spot for a quiet, peaceful retreat! The farmhouse is beautiful with a shared kitchen (with everything you could ever need to cook with, and basic spices, etc.), sitting room with fireplace, dining room with large farm table and living room with TV. The garden suite was charming with a very comfortable bed, sitting room and full bathroom. There are trails right off the property, one of which leads to the family's cabin in the woods. I hiked about 30 minutes up to it, lit a fire and spent a few hours reading and writing in solitude. That was by far the highlight of my stay. What a treat! John was an incredible host and provided a lot of really interesting history about his family and their farm. He was available when I needed him, but out of sight for the most part. The house was extremely clean, and John even leaves snacks (including homemade cookies!) out in the common areas and the suites just in case. Really could not have asked for a better stay.

Same as the private review.

Cynthia2017-05-19T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at the beautiful and historic farm. We were made to feel as if we were part of the family and we loved talking to John and learning about the history of the farm. We look forward to staying there again in the near future.

Home is split level ranch. Choose between a private room/private bath upstairs with shared kitchen, or enjoy your own secluded 700 sq ft. private living room/bedroom/fireplace/bathroom downstairs (One Queen memoryfoam bed and one futon). If you're renting a room, you will share the home with me and my friendly five year old daughter.

An absolutely wonderful experience. Amber and her daughter were a delight and the perfect hosts. Clean, well appointed living space, two very comfortable futon beds, a comfortable couch and ideal entertainment center. The view of the pond from the house deck is truly spectacular. The comforts of a modern home in an idyllic setting. Could not be more pleased. We very much would stay again.

Nico2015-07-26T00:00:00Z

Great place to spend the night while visiting Ithaca! The house and rooms were lovely, clean, and quiet, set in the woods near a beautiful pond. Amber was a terrific host and I felt very at home and comfortable here. Would definitely return.

It was a pleasure staying with Amber. They have a very welcoming home and it was almost as if we were visiting old friends. The place was comfortable, clean and tidy. We asked for the hot tub and Amber made sure it was perfect temp when we arrived. The home is located beautifully in the forest. We would definitely come back!

Although it is a pity not met face with the landlord, but in the process of contact Amber is very fast to respond to all questions. The house is clean and very comfortable, especially outside the pond and prairie people feel themselves Kuang Shen Yi! Really suitable for people traveling with children to stay.

Aimee2017-03-27T00:00:00Z

Beautiful house in a beautiful location!

Victor2017-02-14T00:00:00Z

The home was in a gorgeous setting. We saw a deer and a bunny during our stay. The house seems to be a labor of love as some of the rooms are in a newer and fresher state than others. Tim was extremely kind and the house was comfortable - even blackberry bushes in the garden!

Jennifer2017-07-15T00:00:00Z

Tim's home is beautiful. I loved the skylights and the sunny eating nook. Walking the trails with my dog was fun, as was having a small campfire to make s'mores. All in all a great escape for the weekend. Communication was excellent and I couldn't ask for a more gracious host.

Hannah2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Tim is a great host. Upon arrival we had complete privacy and felt like it was our own home for the weekend. Tim left a detailed note with all the best hiking trail tips and local attractions. Our favorite was the local general store which was like going back in time. Our dog enjoyed the trails behind the house but we failed to find the teepee this time :)

ashley2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Tim's place was perfectly cozy and accommodating. We really enjoyed the peacefulness of the home and property, and were delighted to partake in the thoughtful assortment of teas and snacks he left for us :) It was everything we hoped for and more!

Julie2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

Great place in the country but close to the city. Highly recommend!

Roman2017-06-08T00:00:00Z

I would highly recommend staying at Tim's place for many reasons. First and foremost, he made the entire process so simple with great communication. Not only did he reach out in advance to make sure everything went smoothly, but he also left a detailed one page sheet at the house that covered everything! Also, the setting is perfect if you are looking for a relaxing escape in a beautiful setting with plenty of convenient outdoor trails nearby, this place is great. But it is also only 10 minutes from downtown Ithaca which has so much to offer! Wish we had a longer stay and I do hope to return again.

Away from it all, you will find your private suite lofty, open & skylit. From your room & private bath with vaulted ceilings & skylights, you can step out the French door onto a small deck. To enjoy fresh air, lovely view, & perhaps a glass of wine. Snuggle down comfortably in the large king size bed, and watch the stars shift, clouds pass by and catch a glimpse of a satellite!

Comfortable king size bed, reading corner, fully stocked coffee/tea bar & pastries/goodies await in your room.(I dont provide breakfast, but there is a great diner just 3 mins away & I do try to provide you with a nicely stocked fridge & treats. ) Away from it all, but not. 20-30 mins will have you in Ithaca, Binghamton or Cortland. 15 mins takes you to the quaint town of Owego, where you'll find antique stores, restaurants, bars with great live music, parks, unique gift shops & fast food. Banks, grocery stores & pizza. Local diner, 5 mins away, serves up great breakfast!

Fresh air & breezes. Quiet & peaceful. A friendly welcome from my large, exhuberant yellow lab. My home is tucked away in the country at the end of a long drive. Greek Peak Ski Resort 20 mins away
Plenty of hiking, X Country skiing, MTB, horse back riding 5 mins away at State maintained game lands. Local church events, garage/yard sales, chicken BBQ, Geocaching, Moto Cross & other events abound on any given weekend.

Calming and relaxing property, our son had a great time running around in the yard and hanging out by the pond! The room is lovely, nicely decorated, with big comfortable bed and added skylights that really makes the room feels airy. The room also had a deck that is great for just sitting there enjoying the view, or read a book. Theres also small fridge in the room and a lot of snacks that Trish put for us. Very thoughtful host! She makes sure we had everything we need before our stay ( provides our son with toys and ask about our allergies and coffee/tea preferences). Overall its a wonderful experience!

Nabila2017-07-04T00:00:00Z

Trish's place was a wonderful experience! She was very easy to communicate with and my mom and I enjoyed meeting her briefly. It was clean, quiet and peaceful. The fridge, coffee bar and snacks was a treat!

Jennifer2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Trish has an immaculate home, and the guest room is luxurious. There's a comfy reading chair and throw blanket by the coffee bar, but the bed is big enough to sprawl out on with several books at a time. To out surprise, the personal fridge was stocked with juices, milk for the coffee, and if that wasn't thoughtful enough we were also greeted by a delicious raspberry cake waiting for us in the room! If you're looking for a serene get-away and a goods night's rest this is the place! The private bathroom and deck are great additions to an already perfect room. Trish was a responsive and kind host, and you can tell she paid special attention to every detail when preparing the room for guests, and there was such a good energy in the space. The pictures don't do it justice. I would highly recommend Starlight for a relaxing home-stay!

Monique2017-05-28T00:00:00Z

This is a large master bedroom in a house. The setup of the room is equivalent to a luxurious hotel (cleanliness, bed, towels, snacks, coffee, etc). It's on a hill with a beautiful view. There is a friendly dog roaming in the backyard. It's quite peaceful.

Frédéric2017-09-02T00:00:00Z

Sarah2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

Really enjoyed this quiet, scenic place. Could see the trees from bed, so peaceful. Trish had lots of snacks, yum! Lovely place to stay and Russell, the yellow lab was sweet too.

Sharon2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

The room was as bright and airy as the photos showed. Very comfortable. Quiet area and love sitting by the pond, playing the guitar, feeding the fish and dangling my feet in the water. Just what I needed after a hard days work. Russell the dog was super friendly and always ready for a scratch or some attention. Trish was the perfect host and welcomed us into her lovely home. We will definitely be back here again. This is getting so hard as I am finding so many great places to stay in Newark Valley, who would have thought!

We are surrounded by forests and state-protected natural areas which is perfect for those wanting to get away from city life and breathe fresh air.

Save money by renting only once and prepare your meals in the wonderful kitchen. We also offer a weekly rate for those of your requiring an extended visit.

We are close enough for a short trip to town but far enough away for total privacy and relaxation without the stress of the city.

The place very comfortably fit all 6 of us. It was really nice how there was breakfast coffee and tea available. It was just a really comfortable easy place.

Taryn2016-08-11T00:00:00Z

Deb's apartment was great! It's spacious and has everything we needed. The house was more than well-stocked with food -- fruit, eggs, dairy, coffee; and dry goods, such as instant oatmeal, cookies, protein bars, and more. The beds were comfortable and bed linens high quality. Everything was set out for our arrival. There was detailed information both in Deb's email and at the rental. My son and a teammate were participating in a swim meet at Ithaca College, so I and another mother shared the apartment with our two sons. The accommodations more than met our needs. We didn't experience any traffic, and it was about a 15-minute drive to Ithaca College. I wouldn't hesitate to book Deb's place again. Thanks!

Elizabeth2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

Great stay. Really comfortable and cozy place. Only issue was internet connectivity at first, but David was quick to fix. However, I wouldn't reccomend trying to watch Youtube as the internet speeds aren't quite stellar. Overall, great stay!

Dody was the perfect hostess. We made or reservation at the last minute -- another had fallen through -- to visit our daughter as we passed through the area. John responded quickly to our request. When we arrived Dody was waiting in the kitchen. She offered drinks and snacks and showed us a lovely room. She had thought of everything! Soaps, towels, candy were all available. Breakfast was huge, delicious and offered a variety of nice things. I ended our visit with a walk. the views and wildlife were great.

This left nothing to be desired in that area. This is a perfect place if you want total privacy(URL HIDDEN) Unfortunately, the diner that used to be across the street has closed. The lack of accessibility to the kitchen and no mini fridge or microwave in the suite made it difficult to feel at home. Don't invite friends over without letting the host know. It was quite an unexpected response.

Lori & George2016-07-09T00:00:00Z

This is an absolutely marvelous turn of the century (1905) house which has been lovingly maintained and which is furnished with impeccable taste. It was a joy to be in the space. All the comforts of home are provided. The home is located in a lovely rural/agricultural valley. The area itself seems to have arisen from Norman Rockwell's imagination, albeit there is some significant evidence of the current economic troubles. The hospitality is friendly and well informed. There is not much in the way of fine dining in the area, but this in itself is something of a measure of its unspoiled character. The house and hosts are well worth a detour from one's normal itinerary.

Daniel2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

This is now my third or fourth time at Joan's and we've become friends. Second time I share the room with my mother, and mom wouldn't hear of going anywhere else when we go visit my son at SUNY Binghamton. The room is delightful, comfy, well heated in the cold, well conditioned in hot weather. Has a nice bathroom, and a little living room adjacent to it. Its entrance is independent from the main house, very convenient. My stay has been as great as ever and I hope I will be seeing Joan again soon.

Converted 1810 barn with large open spaces and panoramic views of horse farm, 4BR's, 1 loft and pullout futon couch, 3.5 baths, front flagstone patio, gas or charcoal grill in back with outdoor seating. 40+ acres of hiking trails out the backdoor.

This house is truly a gem and Mary Beth was the perfect BNB owner to work with. The entire property fit all of my family’s needs to a T. The house is well decorated and very clean with a ton of country charm. The home allowed the entire family to enjoy each others company while at the same time spacious enough to have individuals peel off for quiet time if needed. We had 8 adults and 3 children stay for a long Memorial day weekend and we were able to enjoy every bit of the house.

A beautiful home sited on expansive farm property with room for 8 - 10 people and great common spaces. The Ihnkens made us feel at home explaining everything and leaving the house well outfitted for our stay. We had space for everyone and 60 guests when we hosted a graduation party. The outdoor area behind the house was inviting and suited everyone for gathering in groups and the caterer for putting out food. All in all a great experience.

Saul2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

The perfect home for an extended family to celebrate Cornell Graduation. The home is lovely and the setting is both peaceful and beautiful. MaryBeth was an extremely gracious host and communication with her was a breeze. We were a family of 8 ranging in age from 17-81 and we all were extremely comfortable. The 15 minute drive from campus was so easy and after crazy, hectic days on the Hill it was a joy to come back to the peace and quiet. And the house comes with the sweetest and friendliest cat I've ever met!

In the heart of the Finger Lakes region, this newly constructed home is in hamlet of Brooktondale - 8 miles southeast of Ithaca. Surrounded by hiking and biking trails and the area's popular gorges; it is close to Ithaca College and Cornell University. You'll find it a relaxing, private and comfortable retreat.

We named the house the Zuckerhutte (for sugar shack because of its shape and the labor of love that has gone into it). My family designed and built it - and part of it has been converted into a "tiny" house (livable space is 950 square feet).

This is the Finger Lakes Cycling Club's Tuesday night ride venue and has been for as long as I have known this area. This is to say, be aware there are many cyclists and share the road with them. Some drivers also go very fast on this road, so if you decide to take a walk or are driving yourself in these parts, be aware of this.

Loved it! Beautiful rural area & home!

Michelle is a really necessary nice and accommodating host. Her dog and cats are well behaved and a welcome reprieve after traveling. She offered to help us multiple times and even stayed up late when we had car trouble and couldn't arrive until 1 am.

Michelle was an Amazing Host, and was a fountain of information for all local information about hiking, wine trails and dining. She has a lovely place, with 3 great roommates( 1 dog and 2 cats), super friendly and charming. The place is super close to the finger lakes as well as Ithaca. Will definitely come back if we are in the area!

Michelle was very responsive, helpful and welcoming. the house is new and is very open with beautiful views. While not in town, it's only 10-15 minutes from downtown Ithaca. very enjoyable place to stay!!

Beautiful house- just a 10 minute drive into downtown, and near some great hiking trails. Michelle and Carver are easy going and attentive hosts. Spot the dog and the kitties were icing on the cake!

Space and views abound in our 2 bedroom 1860 home. Nestled on 33 acres in the hills of the Finger Lakes, we are 15 minutes from both Cornell and Ithaca College. Relax on the porch swing with sweeping views of the Caroline Valley.

Farmhouse character, open floor plan, new hardwood floors, large fenced in back yard, perfect for BBQ's for a new grad and their family. Well behaved family dogs welcome. Our trails and roads connect directly to Shindagin Hollow for hiking and biking.

We love living in our rural neighborhood only 15 minutes from so many amenities. Bring your bicycles and hiking boots, to fully enjoy the flavor of this area. There are 2 ways to the house, 1 way uphill on a paved road, the other uphill on a dirt road. Both are beautiful! Take your pick.

This listing is for just the room with the double bed and includes exclusive use of the full bath (i.e. private bath).

Tenwood Lodge is having a WINTER SPECIAL on some rooms for January and February. Stay for 2 nights (at least one being a weekend night) and get the 3rd night free!
The Mini-Master is the "parents'" room of our Bunkhouse Family Suite. The other listing is comprised of 2 rooms sharing a full bath on the second floor of a separate "wing" of the main Tenwood Lodge which we call the bunkhouse (when you are visiting we will explain the spelling change-LOL). We have had requests to rent this room alone so this listing allows that with lower pricing than the Bunkhaus Family Suite since it is just one room.
It is a large bright room with vaulted ceiling and a tall double four-poster bed which has been in the family for 2 generations (not the mattress!). The 2 story "Energy-star labeled" building was built in 2003 of SIP construction with a passive solar design. View our other listings for more pictures of the property and the Bunkhaus Family Suite for more about this particular room.
About Tenwood Lodge: after building our unique family retreat, we just started sharing it with guests in June 2013 while we put the finishing touches on and offered introductory pricing. We still have a few minor things to complete (we will be adding two more decks, on the South and to the Northeast) and will probably be tweaking the landscaping for years--with 2 landscapers in the family.
Located in rural Danby, 7 miles from Ithaca College and 9 from Cornell University, we are far from neighbors in our new architecturally designed partially timber framed home We had fun celebrating our daughter's Ithaca College Commencement in May with a big multi-family party -- and we had barely begun to live in our new space! Since then we've had one family come for a wedding/reunion, our extended family came for a reunion and a big Thanksgiving for another family! You can see from the reviews of our other listings that many came in smaller groups.
Our new house was planned to link with the outdoors. Deer, rabbits and chipmunks are our frequent visitors, songbirds awake us every morning. Enjoy several different porches and sitting areas around our home for sitting, eating and relaxing. We have a small pond, vegetable garden and an orchard as well as lawns, shady sitting areas, fields and woods to explore.
The Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, the Plantations Gardens at Cornell, the Hangar Theater, the Sciencenter, the Tompkins County Library and the Finger Lakes State Parks are just a few favorite activities of ours when we venture off the property. Just driving around the rolling hills in our area is lovely (bicycling is great too!)
We love Central New York and we love meeting people, so come visit for two or more nights. We are committed to offering a peaceful place at a more reasonable price than the local hotels. Breakfast will be served and you can share kitchen facilities and our grill for simple lunches and dinners. Of course Ithaca (having more restaurants per capita than NYC) is a great place to eat out also, so plan for that too!
Brace yourself for a couple of things:
1) no TV
2) currently there is limited internet-we can give you access for email but no videos or big downloads. A Verizon cell tower is in sight for your cell/smartphone,
3) non-Verizon cell service may not work well.
4) we have lots of taxidermied animal mounts in our great room (only)-this may surprise, delight or bother you, hopefully the first two unless you read this part.
(smoking is not permitted within 100 ft of the house, but it is permitted in a designated area)

This is an apartment built into a barn: it's beautiful place with a rustic/recycled touch. It's quiet and cozy, situated in a serene valley. We are renting the two bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and eating area.

My girlfriend, two friends and I had a beautiful, if all too brief stay at Lydia and Joel's converted barn on our way to western New York. Down a country road that's set in a valley between two mountains, the setting was extremely beautiful. Lydia was a communicative and courteous host. The interiors were very spacious, with some beautiful handcrafted details. This place has a lot of soul.

A peaceful, beautiful place! Inside is a home filled with so many wonderful things-- instruments and books and furnishings. Clean , warm and inviting! And the view is wonderful!!

This place is beautiful, actually much bigger and nicer than it seemed from the photos! Lydia and her family were accomodating and friendly, and very helpful. Would love to go back just to sit on that back porch for a whole evening. Very close from downtown Ithaca, and many beautiful hiking spots.

Constanza2016-09-25T00:00:00Z

Lydia was warm and welcoming. We loved our stay (our anniversary weekend), and would recommend this place to any and all.

Gordon2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

My sister and I wished that we could have stayed longer than one night! Lydia was very welcoming, the energy of this home was comforting, and hearing its history made us feel more connected.

Before we arrived, we let our host know that we were on our way. Although we were unable to meet her during our trip, she responded promptly and gave us clear instructions on how to park and enter. There were laminated instructions waiting inside with the keys. The home itself was lovely- even nicer than the photos suggest and the views out back are divine. We were able to make s'mores with our toddler in the evenings. There were even some older toys for her to play with, and she enjoyed that there was a piano in various musical instruments there as well. There are lots of personal items in the home such as pictures, books, and interesting artifacts to make for a unique stay. We were a bit disappointed that the living room had a wood-burning stove, but the instructions clearly stated that it was off-limits. It would have not it would have added a rustic element to our stay. We didn't know upon booking that when the home is not rented that the host's stepfather lives there, so we almost felt obtrusive, as his things were in the refrigerator and there was a third bedroom with a privacy sign. Consequently I found parts of the house itself could have been cleaner. The bathroom tub needed to be cleaned before I could bathe my daughter. Not a big deal though. The location was perfect for visiting Ithaca or the nearby wineries. The foliage was gorgeous from the barn apartment. There were four cows outback that kept my daughter entertained as well, and we even heard coyotes in the distance that night. We did have some difficulty maintaining a comfortable temperature, as it was too hot upstairs with the heat on and too cold downstairs if we turned it off. One night we opened the bedroom windows but the wind was blowing a barn door all night and it was quite loud. We were a bit disappointed that the living room had a wood-burning stove, but the instructions clearly stated that it was off-limits. It would have added a rustic element to our stay. I do understand concerns of an experienced people making fires however so it was not a real issue.
